Punishing Beginner Mistakes | Ponziani Opening
Watch live on Twitch: — Follow to get notified when I go live!
In this video I play a rapid chess game against fellow Twitch Streamer vengaard_live () who is a relatively new to chess— only been playing for ~3 months! In the game, I unleash the Ponziani Opening and proceed to show no mercy. I hope this game provides some instructional value when it comes to exploiting common beginner mistakes and using basic tactics to seize the advantage. Towards the end of the game (once I achieved a decisive material advantage) I put more of my focus towards answering various questions from the Twitch Chat. After the game, I provide some basic tips and advice and show how black could have improve the opening play against the Ponziani.

Me seeing the video's thumbnail and thinkin about saying de rien
11 minutes in the game the black could check the white and loose the rook
Queen to e3 would have been a good move ..it defends the bishop and pawn and allows an attack on queen
“So basically everything is hanging” sounds like one of my games
At 11:32 couldnt you have gone a7 with the knight and checkmate with queen on d7 or am i missing something?
Show some mercy erik
That swallowing sound….so annoying 😀
I’m not sure he really punished beginner mistakes tho – it was a decent game
wow who else likes chess?
What's the app or website?
What is your ID name on lichess
actually in move number 11 white should have played nf7 it attacks queen and rook and the opponent loses one
11:45 Knight to A7 would have been better.
Why didnt he just take the bishop?
Leeches?
16:46
Nf6, Tf8, Nd7?
Wouldn't be a problem if he noticed…
He defended himself surprisingly well for a newb.
11:45 if black had taken with the rook eric would have lost his queen right?
This is way too funny
After knight moving to e7 (check), Rxe7 would be a much better move I think : white queen and king in the same line

Hey man why havent you tried a8 with the horse when the rook came down ? wouldnt that be a better option ?
"This is 2:12 AM for me"
Me at 1:37 AM watching: what a fool
Your attitude is so awesome. Can't quite put it into words, but you're smoother then graphene.
10+8 weird time control
Bro it was a mate at 11:35, by taking the rook with queen 🧐
I love this opening
Pawn c6 would’ve been an excellent move for black at around 16 minutes deep
Which platform is this?
why couldn't the black knight just take the white knight before he moved the white queen to e4
Does Chess improve concentration? 6:41 Got distracted 😂
Everyone always tells me not to play C3. Why?
While playing with friends: My pieces my board i win
Leeeeeeeeeechess not lyyyyyyychessss
Min 11:37 ¿Wasn't it better to move Na7?
7:39 I wonder why the knight cant go to F7 and fork the two rooks and queen…
Black had bishop d5…
“He’s been playing for 3 months…. NO MERCY”
9:45 what about taking the pawn if he takes you put him in check with the queen
11:46 , why didn't you take it with the queen. Isn't that a check mate? Please someone help
Just a reminder that you can’t castle out of check, only beforehand or after. The general rule is you can’t castle into, out of, or through check
Vanguard definitely wasn't playing like a "3 month" beginner though. Either stream sniping or has been playing far longer than he said he had been playing

What does the IM mean? Cuz ik GM means grand master sooo…
Good game Derrick.
Hey, I'm really new to chess (a week in) but if anyone has an answer, why was 7:12 knight F7 not the right move?
Sacrifice Bishop
instead of the queen on d5 why not the bishop?
Ta 10:36 he should take his knight on g7 attacking rooks and queen
On move seven, black should of played Bishop to d5,, then Play As6 or if whites queen moved then Bxg2 would of not been a bad move.
